Which Queue will be used while running this job is sidekiq

Question

Hi I am using sidekiq_cron in my rails project. Jobs classes are from ActiveJob. In my job file I have queue_as :default and in schedule.yml file I have queue: high_priority. In actual which queue will be used?

Answer 1

Are you talking about sidekiq-cron? It seems that it allows you to pick the queue so one should expect high_priority queue to be used when jobs are scheduled by cron, and default queue to be used when the same jobs are scheduled by other means (other Ruby code that is not the cron).

You have a way to confirm this, spin up locally a sidekiq that does not process jobs in any of these queues, set your cron to every minute, and in your Sidekiq web dashboard you will be able to see jobs accumulating on the Queues tab.
